There are five places for spiritual root testing. As long as you pass the test and register, you can receive a set of gray robes uniformly worn by outer disciples, a bronze waist badge symbolizing the status of an outer disciple of Qingling Sect, and monthly
Six low-grade spiritual stones were handed out inside the door.
Of course, each disciple who passes the test also needs to provide identity certificates, plus the six thousand taels of gold that need to be handed over in six years. However, these are only for the disciples who enter the Immortal Sect through normal channels. For Kong Laosan and others
Just pay enough gold and silver.
In just half an hour, five lines stretching to three miles away were lined up. Perhaps they were in the important place of the mountain gate. These boys and girls knew the rules. They stared eagerly at the test place, and occasionally there were some noisy whispers.
It also dissipates quickly.
Kong Laosan, the penultimate team on the left, who was at the front, secretly observed the disciples around him. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Before coming here, many of the disciples here seemed to have a good foundation.
, although many young people looked excited, they were not nervous or worried. They were obviously extremely confident in their spiritual talent.
Two hours later, as the long queue slowly moved forward, it was finally Kong Laosan's turn.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a stone table. An old man in black robe is sitting quietly cross-legged with his eyes closed. Next to him, a girl who looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old with a solemn expression is holding a pen and is constantly recording.
What? He said without raising his head, "Go and put your palms on this black stone."
The black stone in front of you is about the size of a person. It seems to be made of black crystal. It is extremely smooth. There is no trace of artificial carving on it. It seems to be naturally formed.
Just when Kong Laosan took two steps forward and was about to put his palm on it as instructed, the old man who had closed his eyes seemed to sense something. His cloudy eyes suddenly opened and he looked towards the test site of Tongtian Peak, his face
A trace of enthusiasm flashed across his body, his body swayed, and he turned into a stream of light and flew away.
While Kong Laosan was stunned, five or six streams of light flashed in the void, all converging on the Tongtian Peak test site. At the same time, a noisy sound came from afar.
"Tianlinggen?"
"That's right, metallic Tianling roots and golden spirit body."
"Several elders are vying to be accepted as their direct disciples, and they are already quarreling."
When the voice came, the originally calm surroundings suddenly boiled like boiling water. Every young man's tone revealed a hint of envy and jealousy. At the bottom of Tongtian Peak, the water that had been blocked was blocked.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan slightly suppressed the urge in his heart to see it, and his originally calm heart also felt ripples, but it quickly calmed down.
"Why are you still dazed? Why don't you go and test it out? Instead of envying others, it's better to work hard. Talent does not determine everything."
At this moment, the girl who had been recording information raised her head, glanced in the direction of Tongtian Peak, then turned her head and scolded Kong Laosan.
The girl was young and good-looking, but she seemed to have a strong temper, and her tone sounded like she was letting off steam. Seeing that Kong Laosan did not refute, but walked towards the stone tablet very obediently, the girl seemed to lose her temper.
Not wanting to continue scolding him, he glanced in the direction of Tongtian Peak, hummed softly, and continued to lower his head to record.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned to look at the girl beside him, and without saying anything else, he gently placed his hand on the stone tablet in front of him. Suddenly, three different colors of lapis lazuli and red appeared one after another.
, among which cyan is the most abundant, while the other two colors are much weaker.
"Wood, Metal, Fire, three-attribute spiritual roots, mainly wood-attributed spiritual roots. It is recommended to practice wood-attributed exercises. What is your name? Do you have any identification documents?"
Seeing the three-color luster on the black stone tablet, the girl slowly spoke, her voice was like the tinkling of spring water, and she sounded calm and pleasant.
"Disciple Zhao Hengdao, Senior Brother Li brought me here."
Kong Laosan said in a calm tone.
Hearing this, the girl's already relaxed brows furrowed again. She raised her head and looked Kong Laosan up and down. There was obvious disgust on her pretty face, "Go to the sundry hall to pay the fee and collect the Taoist robe and waist badge."
"
Seeing the girl's completely different attitude, Kong Laosan was a little confused, but he was sensible and didn't say much.
After leaving the testing place, Kong Laosan thought for a while and did not go directly to the chore hall. Instead, he turned and walked towards the bamboo house where he lived. After a while, he held two large wooden boxes and covered them with a piece of gray cloth.
, and ran towards the direction of the miscellaneous affairs hall.
In front of the chore hall, there was also a long queue at the moment. Kong Laosan had no choice but to move forward little by little, but this time the speed seemed to be much faster. In just one meal, it was his turn.
As soon as he stepped into the chore hall, Kong Laosan frowned unconsciously, and a musty smell filled his nose. He glanced around and paused slightly. What he saw in front of him seemed to be somewhat similar to the fairy family he imagined.
Difference: There is a large wooden platform in front of me, gray robes randomly placed around it, the whole room is slightly dim, and there are even some spider webs hanging around the corners. This appearance is somewhat similar to those ancestral pawn shops in the secular world.
At this moment, Shen Qian was in front of the counter, with a deep joy on his face. He was fiddling with the abacus in one hand and recording something with the other. In front of him, a pile of bronze medals were placed randomly. He didn't look like a steward in an immortal sect at all.
Some are like shopkeepers in secular shops.
"Uncle Shen, I brought these brochures over."
Kong Laosan spoke softly and placed the wooden box in his hand directly on the wooden platform. Then without any nonsense, he took out a heavy cloth bag from his arms and placed it on it.
Seeing this, Shen Qian didn't even have time to be polite. He directly picked up the bag in his hands, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. "Haha, Uncle Shen is here to congratulate my nephew for passing the test. It's the rules of the sect, so I won't be polite."
While speaking, he quickly glanced at the cloth bag, then nodded with satisfaction, took out a set of gray robes and a bronze brand, and then took out a palm-sized square wooden box from under the wooden platform, and handed it to Mr. Kong together.
Three, "Take these, and after the test is over in a few days, come back to me to pick up the chores. Don't worry, Uncle Shen will definitely pick an easier chore for you, haha."
Shen Qian reluctantly glanced at the square box containing six spiritual stones in Kong Laosan's hand, slowly suppressed some other thoughts in his heart, and managed a few words, but Kong Laosan shook his head directly, with a look on his face.
Showing a hint of determination, "My nephew already has a suitable chore in mind, and I hope Uncle Shen will fulfill it."
"Oh? You've already taken care of it? What chores?"
As if a little surprised, Shen Qian stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise.
"My nephew wants to go to the zoo and take care of those spiritual beasts."
"The zoo?"
Hearing this, Shen Qian hesitated a little, and after a while he said awkwardly, "Are you sure you want to go to the zoo? Taking care of spirit beasts is an extremely troublesome chore. If Brother Li asks about it in the future,"
"When Uncle Li asks about it in the future, everything is my own choice. I hope Uncle Shen will make it happen!"
Kong Laosan said, bowing respectfully and looking insistent.
"In that case, then just go to the zoo. Don't you regret it?"
Shen Qian did not insist, but gave a verbal reminder. At the same time, he was secretly happy. Generally, this kind of chore allocation was also one of Shen Qian's biggest financial resources. If he wanted to get an easy chore, the benefits would naturally be indispensable. It was because of Li Xiuchen's face. , Shen Qian was willing to assign some simple and easy sundries to Kong Laosan, but Kong Laosan chose it himself, and Shen Qian naturally would not insist on it.
Half a month later, the outer disciple test was finally over. After going to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to register again, Kong Laosan simply packed up and headed towards Tongtian Peak.
